Remaining hostages are fragile and in dire condition would be my guess as well, OR the hostages that they are supposed to release are no longer alive and Hamas is lying.

Agreed.

President Donald Trump said if Hamas does not return all hostages by noon on Saturday, he will call for the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip to be canceled and "let all hell break loose."

Trump made the comments after signing executive orders in the Oval Office Monday evening.

When asked if he felt the ceasefire deal should be canceled, the president said that is "Israel’s decision."

"If all the Gaza hostages aren't returned by Saturday at 12 p.m., I would say cancel the ceasefire," Trump said in the Oval Office. "Let all hell break loose; Israel can override it."

Trump stressed that Hamas needs to release "all of them—not in drips and drabs."

"Saturday at 12pm and after that, I would say, all hell is going to break loose," Trump said. 

A Hamas spokesperson said Monday that the terrorist group will delay the next planned release of hostages in the Gaza Strip after accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement.

It's up to Israel.  Likely they did NOT violate the ceasefire agreement and quite possibly there are no hostages in good enough shape to release and I am fearful of their condition.  I am also fearful that there may not be any remaining hostages that are alive and that this is a stall tactic.

One thing is for certain after seeing video clips of the hostage releases, the tunnels still exist and that is a huge problem for Israel and perhaps  bombing is the only way to ensure that they are destroyed.  If Israel is led to believe that there are hostages still alive, they may decide to hold off.  Then it becomes a waiting game and I foresee Hamas striking yet again.

Hamas Dismisses Trump Demand to Release All Hostages

The Hamas terrorist group on Tuesday dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand for the release of all remaining Israeli and American hostages from Gaza by noon on Saturday, or the ceasefire deal is over — and Israel can respond as it wants.

Rut Row.  Looks like Hamas chose poorly.

[libertybele]

My guess is that Hamas will continue to dangle the carrot that they have more hostages and will only release them a few at a time.  I doubt that Israel will let all hell break loose if they think that hostages may still be alive...the Israeli people won't want to see any chances of hostages being blow to bits.  Just my opinion.

Israeli cabinet backs Trump’s demand for Hamas to release all hostages by Saturday deadline

Israel’s security cabinet fully supports President Donald Trump’s demand that the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas release all of its hostages by noon on Saturday or that "all hell is going to break out," an Israeli official told Fox News.

The declaration comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened his security cabinet Tuesday after Hamas announced it is delaying the next release of Israeli hostages.

"The decision I passed in the Cabinet unanimously is this: If Hamas does not return our hostages by Saturday noon – the ceasefire will end, and the IDF will resume intense combat until Hamas is decisively defeated," Netanyahu said in a statement following the meeting.

"In light of Hamas' announcement of its decision to violate the agreement and not release our hostages, I instructed the IDF last night to amass forces inside and around the Gaza Strip. This operation is currently underway and will be completed as soon as possible," Netanyahu added.

"We also welcomed the President’s revolutionary vision for the future of Gaza," Netanyahu said.

Trump said Monday if Hamas does not return all hostages by noon on Saturday, he will call for the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip to be canceled and "let all hell break out." 

"If all the Gaza hostages aren't returned by Saturday at 12 p.m., I would say cancel the ceasefire," Trump said in the Oval Office. "Let all hell break out; Israel can override it."

Trump stressed that Hamas needs to release "all of them -- not in drips and drabs." 

"Saturday at 12pm and after that, I would say, all hell is going to break out," Trump said.   

Trump reiterated his demand on Tuesday and told reporters that he believes Hamas will listen to him.................

Yeah, Hamas is totally misjudging Trump if they think that their "hokey-pokey" strategy will work on him and his "mob boss" style of foreign policy.

Netanyahu warns 'ceasefire will be terminated,' Trump threatens 'hell' in Gaza if Hamas doesn't free hostages

Both Trump and Netanyahu said they wanted captives freed by Saturday.

February 11, 2025, 12:05 PM

LONDON -- If Hamas doesn't return Israeli hostages by Saturday afternoon, "the ceasefire will be terminated," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday in a statement following a meeting with his security cabinet.

"The decision that I passed unanimously in the cabinet is this: If Hamas does not return our hostages by Saturday afternoon -- the ceasefire will be terminated, and the IDF will return to intense fighting until Hamas is finally defeated," Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu is demanding all nine living Israeli hostages who were supposed to be released during phase one of the ceasefire deal now be released in the next few days, an Israeli official told ABC News. Hamas violated the agreement; therefore, there will be no progress in the further implementation of the agreement or in negotiations on the second phase of the deal without the return of Israeli hostages, according to the official.

Netanyahu's statement comes after President Donald Trump warned that "all hell is going to break out" unless Hamas releases all remaining hostages from Gaza by Saturday, following the group's announcement it would delay the latest planned release after accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement.

Hamas Backs Down: Agrees to Resume Releasing Israeli Hostages

The Hamas terrorist group said Thursday it would reverse its previous threat of non-compliance and will now continue freeing Israeli hostages as set out in the Gaza agreement.

Hamas blinks first: Terror group says it WILL release hostages as planned following Trump's 'unleash Hell' intervention

Daily Mail
By DAVID AVERRE and ELENA SALVONI
13 February 2025

Hamas has announced it will release Israeli hostages as planned in a move that observers hope will resolve a major dispute that has threatened the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas said on Thursday that Egyptian and Qatari mediators have affirmed that they will work to 'remove all hurdles', and that the group will implement the ceasefire deal.

The statement indicated three more Israeli hostages would be freed on Saturday.



That would allow the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip to continue for now, but its future remains in doubt.

Hamas had threatened to delay the next release of Israeli hostages, accusing Israel of failing to meet its obligations to allow in tents and shelters, among other alleged violations of the truce.

In response, Israel threatened to open 'the gates of hell' on the Palestinian militant group - with the blessing of Donald Trump.

The US President said earlier this week that while the decision ultimately rests on Israel's shoulders, if all of the hostages aren't returned by Saturday noon 'I would say cancel [the ceasefire]... all bets are off and let hell break out'. 

In the wake of Trump's statement on Monday, Hamas said it would not bow down to US and Israeli 'threats' over the release of hostages under the fragile truce deal.

But it seems the group has reversed its position and now appears prepared to release its captives as planned to avoid further retribution.

Another win without spending a penny or firing a shot.

Another win without spending a penny or firing a shot.

Art of the Deal

We don't know that yet. Hamas is an animalistic murdering rapist group which lie with every word they say. Trusting Hamas to abide by any agreement is like trusting a wild rabid dog not to bite you. Hamas are bloodthirsty primitive barbarians who only exist to kill, torture, and rape.

Anything Hamas says is a lie. They just want to draw in your sympathy and trust so they can kill you. Their goal in every case with every thing is murder death and hate.

Whatever Hamas says is a lie. They cannot be trusted in anything. This is why NOT A SINGLE MUSLIM COUNTRY WILL ALLOW THEM IN THEIR COUNTRY. This is a gang of extremely violent criminal killers who will kill anyone, including the people who try to help them.

The idea that American Democrats want to bring them to America is suicidal criminal insanity. Just look at Europe. They tried to so-called "help" the oppressed "Palestinians" and now their countries are full of crime, rape, and death. Because that IS what Hamas IS. They are not oppressed victims, they are a barbarian 'death cult'. To import them is suicidal insanity.

All Islamic countries know this very well, and will not allow them one foot into their countries.

Yes, that is all true.  And actions speak louder than words.

I for one believe most of the remaining hostages are already dead and Hamas is simply doing it this way to get Israel to hold back completely wiping them out.

However, with these words Trump ensured he had Israel's back no matter what they do at this point forward.

And that is putting Hamas sorely on defensive with little avenues to fall back on

All true.
But the Arabs are slave traders. They always have been since the beginning of time. Any pretty young Israeli girls (which they specifically kidnapped lots of them) will bring a price on the international slave markets (yes, slavery exist now today, and not White people doing it). They may no longer be anywhere near Gaza and not in the control of the people who sold them. They could be anywhere in the world.

[240B]

I know Biden is an imbecile. Everybody knows that. But what about his idiot clown Blinken? and his staff? They must be looking at what is happening with jaw-drop awe. Biden does not know what is going on. Biden is an idiot. But forget him, how must his staff feel ... to realize how utterly feckless and inept they were at everything?

Build me a pier Goober! $300 million dollars! At a place that everyone who lives in anywhere near the area knew it would never work. Build me another stupid pier you stupid Goober ... in a coastal country with hundreds of piers!

Look man, the Biden people wanted a 'private' pier to send Hamas weapons and support. There is no possible debate about that.

Hamas frees 3 more hostages in exchange for more than 300 prisoners as part of ceasefire deal with Israel
The released hostages were Iair Horn, Sagui Dekel-Chen and Sasha Troufanov
 By Landon Mion Fox News
Published February 15, 2025 3:19am EST

Hamas released three more hostages on Saturday in exchange for more than 300 Palestinian prisoners as part of the delicate ceasefire agreement reached with Israel.

The hostages released were Alexander (Sasha) Troufanov, 29; Sagui Dekel-Chen, 36, and Iair Horn, 46. Troufanov has Israeli and Russian citizenship, Dekel-Chen is an American-Israeli and Horn is a dual citizen of Israel and Argentina.

The three were abducted by Hamas from Kibbutz Nir Oz in the terror group's Oct. 7, 2023, attack against Israel that sparked the war in Gaza now under ceasefire.

Israeli authorities confirmed they received the three hostages on Saturday after Hamas released them to the Red Cross. They appeared pale and worn but appeared to be in better physical condition than the three men released a week ago.

 Cousin of Shiri Bibas — kidnapped with her two children by Hamas — believes hostages are alive
By Doree Lewak   
Published Feb. 15, 2025, 7:30 a.m. ET

A cousin of Shiri Bibas and her two ginger-haired children told The Post he believes the three hostages are alive after 500 days in Hamas captivity — and he “will not stop fighting” until they’re released.

“I believe they’re alive,” Yosi Shnaider said Friday of his cousin, Shiri, 33, and her children, Ariel, 5, and Kfir, 2, who became symbols of the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks when video of their abduction from their southern Israel kibbutz — with the terrified mother clutching her babies — went viral.

It’s a sentiment their dad, Yarden Bibas, 35, who was released from captivity on Feb. 1, wants to believe

“I don’t want to answer in his place, but we’re all optimistic,” Shnaider told The Post by phone from his native Israel.

The father was told while being held hostage that Shiri and the boys were killed — a claim Hamas made publicly in November 2023.

“He believed them,” said Shnaider, 46. “But he kept hope that they’re lying.”

Bibas, who returned from 16 months of hell to another hell of not knowing the fate of his family, immediately asked about his wife and children after he was released.

“We told him the truth – that we don’t know,” Shnaider said. “We have nothing.”

 Hamas says Kfir Bibas and Ariel, 2 and 5, and their mom are dead, and their bodies will be sent back to Israel this week
By Anthony Blair   
Published Feb. 18, 2025, 9:24 a.m. ET

Hamas’ youngest hostages, Kfir and Ariel Bibas, 2 and 5, and their mother are dead and their bodies will be returned to Israel this week, the terror group said in ghoulish announcement on Tuesday.

Kfir Bibas never celebrated a birthday in freedom after he and his family were kidnapped on Oct. 7 when he was just 9 months old.

Israel has not confirmed the deaths of the red-headed boys and their mom Shiri, but said it had “gave concerns” about their well-being.

The terror group’s leader in Gaza, Khalil Al Hayya, said that the four bodies of hostages will be handed over on Thursday, while six living hostages, some held for over a decade, will be returned on Saturday.

This comes after last Saturday’s deadline for Hamas to hand over three living hostages had passed.

Netanyahu: Six Live Hostages Coming Saturday, Four Dead Ones Thursday

BREITBART
by Joel B. Pollak
18 Feb 2025

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Tuesday that Hamas has agreed to release the six remaining live hostages on Saturday from the first phase of the ceasefire agreement — and four dead hostages on Thursday.

As of Monday, there were 14 hostages still left to be released under the first phase, out of 70 overall hostages. Six were known to be alive, though it is not yet known which six, or whether the two remaining child hostages — Ariel and Kfir Bibas — were among them. The remaining 56, living and dead, will be released as part of a second phase of the ceasefire deal, still under negotiation.

Though the original deal for the first phase indicated that the hostage releases would be spread out over seven weeks, with a few being released every week, Netanyahu has sought to press Hamas to release the living hostages faster.

It would appear he has been successful, through talks with Hamas mediated by the Egyptian government in recent weeks.
